To Kecp the Skin Soft

Do you ask what will keep the skin
soft ar fair in Q rough climate? Luxe
warm milk comes first on the list. This
wash dates back as far as Nero's wife,
Poppei8, who always washed with ass
milk; and for this kept 500 asses alweys
st her disposal. She also made 8 paste
OF bread and milk, which she rubbed on
her face at night, and even during the
day, when she did not go out. Milk has
always been favorite wash with great
ccquettes. The bellies OF the French
Directoire ADDED crushed straWb TTies 70
the milk, to give additional beauty and
perfume to the skin. Milk is an emolient
wash for rough skins, in rough climate,
where greasy substances are preferable to
astriDeents, while the latter are more
beneficial in hot climates, and for. oily
perspiring skins. An excellent suEsti-
tute for plain milk IS virginia. milk, which
is made by pouring sn ounce OF tincture
of b nzoin in bottle, and then over this
very slowly, almost drop by drop, quart
of rose water. Cucumber juice, or the
water in which cucumber is boiled, is
also an excellent face-wash; and the
water in which water-cresses have been
boiled, and also cOWslips, is good. La
fact, there are so many recipes for beau
tifying the complexion By simple means
that it is most difficult to make choice
AS general rule, milks for cold, rough
weather, and vinegar, wine or spirit fol
warm weather.

Steel Lace.
PiEtsburg d spatch.

TIE question of making lsces of iron
and steel Tor ladies' and children's wear
IsE again beings discussed in art, mill,
and fashion circles. At the Centennial 10
1876 piece of steel rolled bV Pittsbu g
mill was on exhibition which was SO thin
and light inst it weighed much less than
q book leaf ,and coull be blown from the
hand easier thaa piece of paper of the
same 'iza. The iron leaf was r0ll on q
train Of rolls upon which heavy tank and
boiler iron is now rolled.
Experts say that curtsirs aud other fne
laces can be made of soft malle:b.e iron,
and in every way be used with greater
satisfaction thar cotton lsCes. The sheets
Will necessarily have to be rolled down
to an exceedingly low gauge End then
pressed into any desirable pattern and
shape. There will BE- no trouble in furn-
ishing iron laccs for ladies' and children's
wear, with their names and other
ornsmentStion in flagree design
An introduction of steel lace would es-
tablish in Pittsburg en- industry that
would give wo ( to at least 5000 men and
consume annually not less than $4,000
tons OF steel, which is now 8 drug in the
market at less than 2 cents q pound
Steel lace, unlike cotton, can be made
light or heavy without affecting the grade,
color Or brightness. We may yet see
fashionable ladies wearing steel shawls
and trimmings for their hats and dresses.

CANADIAN, TEX Oct. 25-This county,
(Hsmphill), is next to the northern tier
# counties, and borders on the Indian
Territory. It is not settling very fast on
account of the lands (school and rail
road), not being on the market. The
town, Canadian, which is the county seat
of Hemphill county, Is growing very fast,
new houses being started nearly every
day. The town Is very quiet and moral,
there has been but one fight in the town
of any consequence sIrce the town was
.aid out, which was about the middle
OF last August. The population is
about five hundred. The new court
house, & temporary buildine) 32x6O
feet, is nearly done, and the foundation
for handsome school building is being
laid, and will be finished in two months
As soon as the school land is put on the
market it is estimated thst 500 new
families will quickly fad homes, here
Canadian is considered the best point for
shipping cattle in the Panhandle.

THE OLD ROMAN.

Everybody said that the Old Roman,
Allan G. Thurman, was too old to be
President or Vice Pfesidens, but when
the battle waxed fercely and defest wss
feared, this weak Cd man was hunted up
and put in the thickest of the fight. They
did not send q hesrse after this weak old
man, because he is not dead; they did
not send an ambulance or g stretcher
after him, because he is not wounded;
they did not send rim to hospital and
give him cordial aud balm, because be is
neither sick nor sore; but they put him
on the stump in Ohio, where the brains
and brilIancy of the Democracy, includ-
ing the Congressman from the Shoestri1g
district of Texas, is concentrated, and he,
as OF old, took rank as giant among
ordinary and extraordinary men. He is
neither blind, nor halt, nor lame. His
health is excellent, his mental faculties as
strong and his step as elastic as that et
any nan Of his age. He does not carry
smelling salts to relieve hi spirits when
weak or faint, he is strong and hearty,
and the Forakers, the Fairchilds, the Flu
riosos and all the other FlddlestIcks and
Tuttlestlcks are whirled about by the If
resistiole force of his words, like cbsf in
q cyclone. It is only when the people
want to honor him-when they want to
place him in positions of responsibility,
that the monopolists Of both the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties patheticallV
and mournfully tell US he is "too cid"
1t Is the only way to touch public SYM
patty and quiet public clamor.

THE PANHANDLE TROUBLE


The TRADES upon individuals with which
some of the supporters OF the lease law
are attempting to reply to the reports OF
the Panhandle land troubles are neither
creditable to their authors nor the cause
in which they are employed. 1t is, per.
haps, work of supererogation to expose
the glsring inconsistencies of these cham.
pions of the leasing system, but one ex
ample is lnstanced to show how little
they know and care about the real issues
at stake. The ink is hardly dry on the
papers in which they accused the Panhan-
die representative, Mr.. Browning, of
being the special champion of the
cattle interest, aud to this account cred
tied his opposition to the lease law. Now
when the wealthy corporations and cat
tlemen are attempting to monopolize the
school LANDS through the medium of the
new lease law, Mr.. Browning's active op-
position to their designs is met with
charges of political ana oition, landed in
terests, connection with surveyors, and
others of o similar nature which are in
voked to provoke popular prejudices.
These are being repeated over

and over sgain unmindful of
the fact that Mr.. Browning
has himself b. nded the explicit Charge
Of connection with surveyors Office IS
a positive fslsehood. THE GAZETTE Will
add what he could not say for himself,
without attaching undue Importance to
he common slsnderer, that it has reliable
information for the statement that it is
Mr.. Bro wning's intention to retire entirely
from politics after the expiration OF his
present term of legislative service, and
that his recent appeal to the Governor
was final effort on his part
to ameliorete the lamentable con
dition Of land matters in his section
The result Of that appeal will hardly be
considered encouraging by the friends OF
western development. A representative
western j0urnal, the Tascosa Pioneer,
while deprecating the, intention CT Mr..
Browning to retire from politics, remarks
that that section might as well send no
representative W TIC bceioioGUICs olhSC
he only stands as a target for utilization
and abuse by the press snd politicians OF
other portions of the state In such feel
ing, which is undoubtedly general,
in the wess The GAZETTE can see nothing
but danger to the future interests OF the
entire state. The tendency to divide into
factions on geographical basis Is already
too great. Instead of encouraging it by
petty and unnecessary hostility to any
thing and everything which has western
flavor, the press and people of other sec
tions should seek rather to conciliate ths
new elements which are being introduced
into the west.
As for the monopolistIc interests which
for the moment seem to be-
in the saddle, we warn them
that their triumph is but temper
airy, and they had oest use it moderately;
when the reaction comes they will not
suffer go severely. So long sgo IS in the
Eighteenth Legislature bill was intro
duced and attracted wide approval,
to compel the landed corpora
lions of the state to wind up their affairs
and 60 out of business in this state. We
are not sure but that if an accurate map
was published of the gigantic holdings
and enclosures of these corporations IL
Western and North western Texas O
measure TO that effect might be forced
through the Twenty first Legislature on
8 wave Of popular indignation. II this
should ever be done, the prop and main
stay of the leasing system would be de-
stroyed and, whether legally abolished or
not, II would become practically nullity
